Watson Conversation node.js create workspace with learning_opt_out

Question

I'm trying to create a new watson-conversation workspace with learning_opt_out true in node.js. The following code creates the workspace, but learning_opt_out is still false.

Can you help?

var watson = require("watson-developer-cloud");

var conversation = new watson.ConversationV1({
  username: 'user',
  password: 'password',
  url: 'https://gateway-fra.watsonplatform.net/conversation/api/',
  version_date: '2017-05-26'
});

var workspace = {
  name: 'API test',
  description: 'Example workspace created via API.',
  language: 'de',
  learning_opt_out: 'true'
};

conversation.createWorkspace(workspace, function(err, response) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  }
 });

Running this code creates the following output:

{
  "name": "API test",
  "created": "2017-10-27T12:16:11.170Z",
  "updated": "2017-10-27T12:16:11.170Z",
  "language": "de",
  "metadata": null,
  "description": "Example workspace created via API.",
  "workspace_id": "xxx",
  "learning_opt_out": false
}

Answer 1

As you can see, the parameter for learning_opt_out is boolean:

learning_opt_out (boolean, optional): Whether training data from the workspace can be used by IBM for general service improvements. true indicates that workspace training data is not to be used.

EDIT:

After saw more about this question and the parameter learning_opt_out, I found the answer, you need to set one header inside your call for Conversation service and your username and password:

For example:

var watson = require("watson-developer-cloud");

var conversation = new watson.ConversationV1({
  username: 'user',
  password: 'pass',
  url: 'https://gateway-fra.watsonplatform.net/conversation/api/',
  version_date: '2017-05-26',
  //X-WDC-PL-OPT-OUT: true
  headers: {
       'X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out': true
  }
});

var workspace = {
  name: 'API test',
  description: 'Example workspace created via API.',
  language: 'de',
  //'X-WDC-PL-OPT-OUT': true
};

conversation.createWorkspace(workspace, function(err, response) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  }
});

And the result:

{
  "name": "API test",
  "created": "2017-11-03T12:16:08.025Z",
  "updated": "2017-11-03T12:16:08.025Z",
  "language": "de",
  "metadata": null,
  "description": "Example workspace created via API.",
  "workspace_id": "c143cfd2-2350-491e-bc58-b9debf06e03f",
  "learning_opt_out": true
}
